Ahoy polloi (an island for the masses)

[Murphy47]

A few years ago, someone stole my rainproof coat at work. Fortunately it was a cheap one. I loved it though.
A colleague ( who lived on the premises) had to lend me one so that I could go home without getting cold and drenched! It was a Sonia Rykiel.

I don’t understand people sometimes.
Hot and steamy here today.
Bad weather later in the week as the remnants from Hurricane Gordon move in.

All types of goddesses are needed on the island!
Didn’t someone from your country say “there is no bad weather, just bad clothes”?

I think this is a proverb from
UK.
But, it fits for us, too.

People in Minnesota say, "The cold makes you right."
I consider them optimists with frozen toes.

I heard this saying in Norway.
After my stolen north face raincoat was replaced by Danish brand one.
When Oslo dumped rain onto my amazing waterproof-ness.
And I smiled.

Hehe. Probably all countries with bad/cold weather know this proverb.

Well, this is a huge bunner!
I am always afraid that someone might steal my umbrella on bad weather days...

Hope you only have bad weather, no destruction.

Serious question:
Obviously, Massaccesi is closing business. Which is very sad on many levels.
They have a final sale until Friday.
Should I get a final MM bag?! A third Selene? A second Aphrodite? Something else?
I have not used my Aphrodite a lot since I got it, because I was busy using other bags. I have unpacked the Dooney Tote on the weekend and I was not thrilled by it. I like it, but there was no "wow". I took this as a sign to just use the stuff I have for a while. But the thought that I will not be able to order another MM bag is - itching me.
What do you think?

I think that you should use your Aphrodite before ordering another Selene or something else..
There are lots of other brands that will be on your radar in the future...
Brands that you have not considered yet.
Massaccesi is closing but they might come back using another name...

You own 3, yes?
2 work well, 1 not used much yet.
Maybe the d&b tote is wise--use what you have?
Plus, if have problems with new order=company will be gone.

Agreed.
Psychic Silly predicts taxation or profit margin reason behind closure.
And a miraculous new custom handbag company appearing. In threads on tpf. With exact same MM customers...
Give it 3 months.

You are both right. Do not feel like buying a new bag / a new MM bag.
If I can choose a bag right now - would choose the Florentine Doomed satchel by Dooney.
And yes, there are so many other brands out there.

And.... I am very happy with my Tuscany leather bag right now.

Very wise decision, Ludmilla.
Sometimes being wise is so unusual that it breaks our routine and cheers us up for a while...

I just need to stay off the MM thread.
I might need to write your wise words down. They work for other situations, too.

The leather on that bag is just gorgeous. So yummy.

Thank you!
The leather is breaking in nicely, now, and the bag is getting slouchy. I carry it for more than two weeks straight.

Ah, isn't a sunrise ride pretty?

But, it was FLAT TIRE day!
Bike & I rode in a truck bed. Back to civilization.
Afterwards, found the culprit:

All fixed. But used my emergency tube.
Must buy another a.s.a.p.
